(Get the code!)
So the kernel shouldn't lock the drive, or unlock it and wait for the
user to reinsert it after cleaning. It happened to me numerous times
before, with data cds, music cd and even dvds. Cleaning the drive's
"laser eye" prevent errors when reading/writing. Retrying with the same
dust balls in the drive won't help. IMHO Ubiquity should even _suggest_
cleaning the drive, and then retry.
And I can't see any different factors that could cause my error
described above.
Thanks.
